Is there any wonder why we are in such big trouble? Any question why the people don't trust their government anymore and demand a change?

Imagine if the pension funds and endowments that own much of the equity in our financial services companies demanded that those companies revisit the way mortgages were marketed to those without adequate skills to understand the products they were being sold. Management would have to change the way things were done.

A technical solution may be defined as one that requires a change only in the techniques of the natural sciences demanding little or nothing in the way of change in human values or ideas of morality.

And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?

We need a number of solutions - we need more efficiency and conservation. Efficiency is a big one. I think car companies need to do a lot better in producing more efficient cars. They have the technology we just need to demand them as consumers.

Like any business the oil industry runs on the basic premise of supply and demand. The more supply - the lower the price. The higher the demand - the higher price. In other words the more people who can buy oil the higher the price of oil.

In business you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand rather than waiting to have demand.

It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient more transparent and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

We succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we possess but we excel in those which can also make use of our defects.

The work ahead will be hard. These times demand the best of us - all of us but we can do this. Together we can do this. We can get this country working again. We can get this economy growing again. We can make the safety net safe again. We can do this.

I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves wringing out their memories and their nightmares to extract meaning truth beauty.

Instead it appears to be a particular mark of beauty that it is considered with tranquil satisfaction that it pleases if we also do not possess it and we are still far removed from demanding to possess it.

I believe that true beauty of chess is more than enough to satisfy all possible demands.

For two thousand years the Church has guided the development of music carefully legislating to fuse artistic talent and aesthetic beauty with the demands of the Faith.

Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.

If philosophy is practice a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts.

That term's definitely got a negative aura to it because people think a diva is somebody with an attitude who demands things all the time. Of course there is that type of diva but my idea of a diva has always been a singer - whether male or female - who gets on that stage and captivates you with their presence and their voice.

Those who love him love that he sells the most art they take it as a point of faith that this proves Kinkade is the best. But his fans don't only rely on this supply-and-demand justification. They go back to values.

Is art really the priesthood that demands the pure in heart who belong to it wholly?

Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.

The overall physical demand that Iraq has is pretty amazing. It's 130 degrees and the soldiers are carrying about 100 pounds of extra gear. It's a pretty rigorous schedule and routine for them.
